BOSTON — The condition of Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry,
was upgraded from critical to fair yesterday morning, the secretary’s spokesman said.

The spokesman, Glen Johnson, said that Heinz Kerry, 74, was “undergoing further evaluation” at
Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where she was admitted Sunday after being airlifted from
a smaller hospital near the family home on Nantucket Island.

A source close to the family said that Heinz Kerry was taken to the emergency room Sunday
afternoon after exhibiting “signs of a seizure” but no diagnosis has been made.
